Deep Pockets in The Northeast

May 13th, 2013

These photos are pretty old now, but I just haven’t had the time to post them. Justin will be psyched that his app will have something new in it though.

So a couple months ago Deep Pockets did some shows in the Northeast, basically our long tour of Buffalo plus extras. We played NJ with Real Good at this weird ass spot

This dude brought his own drum and jammed with all the bands. How bout that. I have video of this too, which was hilarious. New Jersey homies Ray and Trevor came out to hang which was really awesome.

This is Conor wearing my sunglasses the next day

We stayed with John from RealGood that night and the next day he took us to a pretty sweat some for food. The buildings in Jersey City are really awesome

Here are the dudes

More cool buildings

So on our way to Buffalo we went to this amazing spot called the House Of Guitars in Rocester. It is basically a music museum filled with amazing gear and history. I don’t want to type that much right now but look at these pictures. Tons of cool shit in two giant barn like buildings.

Tons of amps

Everywhere

Amps and amps and amps and amps

spaghetti spaghetti

Look at all these guitars. Look at them all. Look at em.

This is the record store part. Entirely too much shit. I was so furious because there was no way in hell I could spend enough time looking through all the shit in this place. I didn’t buy a single thing the first day we went

It’s also covered in years of memorabilia

records and promos wall paper the place

 

as do pictures of artists who’ve visited the store over the years

and tons of these artists have signed the walls

matt and I couldn’t even wrap our heads around this place

it was just too much to take in

Suicidal

Eric and Parrish, Danzig foam ltters

cool shit

Ramones in the very early years

Aerosmith looking young

too much shit!

back in the guitar place Conor was looking to buy a SG. He was trying out a bunch of crazy custom ones. He didn’t buy one that night, but we would return days later.

we went over to our pal Keely’s in Buffalo, basically peed, and went out the door to get food and then get a night session in at Niagra Falls (which I’ve never seen)

Everyone said the view from the Canadian side is better but this was cool regardless. I’d like to check it out again during the day and which more options and when it isn’t freezing cold

But it was amazing and impressive

Back at Keely’s and I met her little stinker cats. Really cute dudes and dudettes

In this photo I am holding Little Man up by the belly so that he may properly chirp at the birds in the nearby tree

Here he is on Conor’s lap

This is the grey one

Conor making a new friend is funny

Check out this Little Rascals photo. Pretty cool

Went off to 7-11 to buy oil and found this guy, kinda wanted to buy it but didn’t. More coming

March 18th, 2013

I haven’t updated this in a while because I’ve been busy redoing one of my real sites, but here’s some fun stuff that happened last month (I think?). I got the photos back and put them in an album but didn’t scan em. Sup

I went up to Stratton with Brendan, Lili, and Neal. I haven’t seen Bren and Lili in a minute, but I hadn’t seen Neal in about  or 4 years maybe. It was the first time I rode in a while too, because I didn’t go at all last year, and maybe went once the year before.

I borrowed Bren’s extra board, or his friend’s or something, and used the boots that I have which are about 10 years old. Pretty funny shit. The snow was actually pretty nice. It was a holiday weekend at Stratton so the crowd was pretty sizable but not to the point where I wanted to punch anyone

The weather the first day was super nice, it was cold, but not horrible.

The lines were a bit outrageous yeah but whatevs. We had a good time chattin. One thing I noticed is more and more helmets are on the mountain these days. I guess the whole Sonny of Sonny and Cher thing really did change people’s opinions on it? Hey can you see who’s in line with us?

Captain America. Wut?

We got some deal where we stayed at the lodge that they never renovate. I personally don’t give a shit because I  just needed a place to sleep, but man.. a loooot of people probably get bummed out when they arrive. A bed and a TV is all I need, but other people would flip their shit

Eliot came along and was a cool guy. Aside from when he kept waking us up the first night. He was obviously a little antsy in this new place and was burrowing under the bed Neal and I were in. Hey, check out that stain I just noticed now HA

Moustache Beardo guy over here

The second day was muuuuch colder. We went out on one run altogether but it was so cold Lili and Neal had it. The wind was pretty brutal, but if my face was covered I was alright. Bren and I decided to stay on and do a few more runs. I think we lasted until about lunch time and decided to make a break while the traffic wouldn’t be insane. I did want to ride more because I doubt I’ll go too much more this season but my knees are ten years older than they should be, and the cold was annoying so fug it.

This guy. What a cutie.

We got back on the road and headed for home. I miss yous guys, we need to hang more!
